MSBuild Project Tools for VS Code v0.2.2

Changes

• Add help for well-known elements, attributes, properties, and item types from MSBuild.*.xsd to improve completions and tooltips-on-hover.
• Add completions for attributes that refer to target names (e.g. BeforeTargets, AfterTargets, DependsOnTargets).

Notes

If you want to use the new MSBuild language service, you must have .NET Core 2.0 present on the system path (but your project can target whatever platform / version it wants to). If you don't have it, then the extension will fall back to using the classic PackageReference completion provider (MSBuild-related functionality will not be available).

Installing

To use this extension, either install it from the VS marketplace, or download the VSIX package and install it by choosing "Install from VSIX" from the menu on the top right of the extensions panel in VS Code.

More information

See the README for more information.
